How do we know this? Because the first step toward Communism is Socialism, and none of the aforementioned are even remotely Socialist in any way, shape, or form.

Even where it's legal it's always looked down on. Like, ask your self this question.
You are a 20something year old college student and you want to earn some quick money. And it's not something serious either. You just need some extra cash to go on a holiday or buy a new gaming console or something similarly banal.
So what you need is a part time job. Now, you can go and spend a month flipping burgers or working a cash register or something similar or you can spend that same time having sex for money. One of those choices (the sex, duh) is clearly absolutely superior in every way. But is it the one would you pick? And why? I bet you any money that it's not the sex.

Because there are monied interests behind one and not the other, or rather there are monied interests in keeping street work illegal
The sort of people who do street work also have no power in government, they are generally poor, and they generally do sex work to get by, very few members of Congress have ever had a similar experience, very few have ever been in a situation where sex work seemed like a good option, and generally when you have bills like SESTA-FOSTA meant to curb sexual work, sex workers are not asked about how this would affect them, and it affected them like all laws meant to curb sex work have, it didn’t make them get a new line of work, it didn’t open any opportunities for that, the only thing it did is make their job more dangerous, and thousands of sex workers have died because of that
We need regulation, sex workers need unions and protections like all workers, and we need to fight for a world where people don’t feel the need to have sex for money

If one partner is more horny than the other, and the other is only willing to accommodate them in exchange for other favours, and these favours could in other contexts be exchanged for money, is that analogous to prostitution? (Margaret Cho has made this comparison too.)
4. At bars, drinks are often offered with the implicit arrangement of having sex with the person who offered them a drink later on. Is this analogous to prostitution as well?
6. Sex strikes. In the context of sex strikes, women claim to refuse to have sex with men until certain demands are met. (Presumably, males are not cut out for the reverse.) Is this not essentially logically equivalent to "I will have sex in exchange for these favours"?

A favor isn't money.4. At bars, drinks are often offered with the implicit arrangement of having sex with the person who offered them a drink later on. Is this analogous to prostitution as well?
No. A drink isn't payment.

No.
